Tips

1. Attendees must bring extra camera batteries in case battery would run out from taking too many pictures with the cosplayers.
2. Attendees must be aware that cosplayers are human too, don't stress them or piss them off when asking for a photo opportunity.
3. Cosplayers must always hydrate themselves. Standing for hours and giving chance for photo ops can be tiring too.
4. Cosplayers must be at the event venue hours before the start of the cosplay to give you time to prepare and relax before the convention begins.
